Module 5 Flashcards
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
What are the three parts of ATP?
Triphosphate, ribose, adenosine
(3 phosphate, sugar, adenine)
What are the three parts of ADP?
2 phosphate groups, ribose, adenosine
(2 phosphate, sugar, adenine)
What is different between ATP and ADP?
ATP has 3 phosphate groups, ADP has 2
ATP is full power, ADP is empty
ATP has electrons, ADP has none/fewer
What happens when 1 phosphate bond from ATP is destroyed?
Energy is released and ATP becomes ADP
What are granum?
Stack of thylakoids
What is stroma?
Liquid inside chloroplast
Where is chlorophyll?
Inside thylakoids
What types of photosynthesis are there?
Light-dependent, Calvin cycle
What is transferred between light reactions and the Calvin cycle?
Light Calvin
ATP ——————-> ADP
NADPH ——————–> NADP+
(full charge) (empty/low charge)
Where are light reactions?
Thylakoid
What are the product and reactant of light reactions?
Water –> Oxygen
What are the stages of light reactions?
Photosystem 2, Electron Transport Chain, Photosystem 1
What happens in the light reaction’s photosystem 2 step? (4 steps)
- H₂O bonds break by enzymes in the inner thylakoid membrane.
- The 2 electrons from H₂O bonds become higher energy due to light.
- Electrons join the electron transport chain.
- Oxygen is released into air, hydrogen is released into thylakoid.
Cycle begins again.
What happens in the light reaction’s electron transport chain step?
Electrons power the proteins in the chain to get H+ ions from stroma to thylakoid.
What happens in the light reaction’s Photosystem 1 step? (3 steps)
- Pigments re-energize electrons
- After another short electron transport chain, 3. NADP+ in stroma bind electrons and H+ ions to form NADPH at the outer thylakoid layer
How is ATP made in light reactions?
The gradient from the H+ ions in (positive) thylakoid and (negative) stroma makes the energy needed for ATP production. Because of the gradient, H+ ions are pushed through the ATP synthase (a protein) and the synthase begins to spin.The rotation bonds ADP and phosphate, making ATP. Chemiosis
